A Belgian veterinarian, a pioneering dog and cat psychologist, re-establishes good relations with their human companions. A Californian guru makes telepathic contact with your dog, or with a dolphin and an elephant. An American psychologist crusades for the defense of the great apes, after having conducted a 30 year dialogue with his chimpanzees. In Atlanta, an anthropologist has a troubled affair with an orangutan which she raised and "humanized". France's greatest specialist in animal behavior takes a new look at the kinship between the human and animal species. The unusual experiences of these unconventional people, their interaction with animals, their intuition about those creatures closest to us - both biologically and in our daily lives - shed astonishing light on these animals we thought we knew. After this, you won't look at your cat the same way. And as for the anthropoids, you'll greet them the next time you see them. Meeting these new-style communicators also raises major questions about our origins, our relationship to the animal kingdom and on what makes us human.
